No two autistic learners have exactly the same strengths, challenges or interests, which is why special education programmes typically build an Individualised Education Plan (IEP) around each child rather than following one fixed curriculum for everyone.
What an IEP Generally Includes
An IEP typically outlines a learner's current skills, specific goals across areas like communication, social interaction, academics or daily living, and the teaching approaches that will be used to work toward those goals over a given period.
How Goals Are Set at GALS
Goals are set after getting to know the learner -- through observation, assessment and conversations with parents -- so that what's being taught actually matches where the child is and what would genuinely help them, rather than a generic checklist.
A Plan That Is Reviewed, Not Fixed
Dr. Murli Singh and the GALS team review goals periodically rather than treating an IEP as a one-time document, since a learner's needs, interests and pace of progress can change over time.
